Former Brighouse Town captain Leon Henry is among four new signings at Ossett Town.

Henry joins Ossett for a new challenge after a long and successful period with Brighouse.

The left-sided player leaves Brighouse with a strong reputation having being a major part of their rise from the Toolstation NCEL to the Evo Stik. He also scored the goal which secured them promotion in 2014.

He briefly play for Ossett in 2009 under Paul Lines.

Versatile Darol Lucas has returned from Canada and has immediately re-signed for Ossett, along with Brad Riley who made two appearances for previous boss Graham Nicholas.

Matlock Town midfielder Liam Gaughan is the final signing.

Manager Grant Black said: “I’m delighted with the way the squad is starting to shape up, we have the numbers in that we didn’t have last season, but more than that we have quality.

“There are two players for each position and it is difficult to pick, they’re working hard in training and now the games are coming, starting Thursday at Parkgate. there will be a lot of people wanting to show what they can do.”
